Maliq Brown Holding Ground As SU’s Center
Forward Maliq Brown has stepped up this season for the injured Naheem McLeod. The 7’4″ center, McLeod, underwent a season-ending surgery on his right-foot in early January.

Syracuse Hoops Offensive Fluctuations
The Syracuse offense is a lost cause at the moment. A smaller lineup has led the Orange to poor shooting. The outlook on the rest of the season doesn’t seem to be bright. Let’s start with the shooting. SU is coming off a season-low 24 points in the first half of Saturday’s loss to Clemson.…

Syracuse’s Midterm Grades
Since Syracuse has over a week off in between games, now feels like a good time to evaluate the Orange’s individual grades almost halfway through the season. SU sits at 10-4 now, and once Wednesday hits it will play two games every week until the first full week of March. Let’s get into the gradebook.…

Tuesday Night’s Loss Is No Reason To Panic
The box score certainly does not look pretty, particularly when you glance at the second half. The lack of a student section inside Cameron Indoor Stadium can’t make you feel good either.

Syracuse Basketball: Bench Shines in 83-63 Win Over Oregon
Syracuse basketball is known for having a small rotation. In the Jim Boeheim era, the Orange usually went two or three guys deep on the bench. That hasn’t been the case this year though, and the 83-63 win over Oregon proved how valuable depth can be for SU. Quadir Copeland Every single member of Syracuse’s…

Could Maliq Brown Be The Starting Center?
Of the many question marks surrounding Syracuse’s roster, none may be bigger than that of the center position. Jesse Edwards’ departure left a glaring hole in that position, and Adrian Autry has been presented with plenty of options to potentially fix that hole. One option that hasn’t been talked about a whole lot is Maliq…

Fizz Report Card: Syracuse Stings Georgia Tech 80-63
Syracuse took down Georgia Tech 80-63 to move to 6-3 in ACC play. The Yellow Jackets certainly aren’t among the ACC’s elite, having only one win in the conference.

Syracuse Needs to Finish January 3-1 at Worst
SU Basketball is in danger of missing out on the NCAA Tournament for the second straight year. The Orange were in pole position to claim win number 10 in their last 12 games. Instead, the ‘Cuse did what they seem to do every year in South Florida and blow a big lead late. Instead of…

Rocked Like a Hurricane: Syracuse Collapses Against Miami (Again) 82-78
The. Same. Stinking. Game. Really, it almost felt like we were watching a carbon copy of both of Syracuse’s battles with Miami last season. The Orange held a double-digit lead in the second half thanks to a combination of hot shooting and energy. The shooting spark went away, but that’s ok as long as the…

Is Tonight The Most Important Game Left on the Schedule?
Yes. You would not be able to find a more significant win on the remainder of Syracuse’s schedule than tonight’s showdown in Coral Gables against 17th-ranked Miami. The implications it has on this team’s postseason chances, player development, and future are gigantic. First and foremost, this is a road contest. This will sound obvious, but…

Maliq Brown is Emerging as SU’s X-Factor
The more we watch Maliq Brown come off the bench and flash his potential at forward, the more we understand he needs to play at least 25 minutes per game.

Following a disappointing defeat in Charlottesville, Syracuse (11-6, 4-2 ACC) returned to the JMA Wireless Dome in need of a feel-good win.

Syracuse Doesn’t Have Many Winnable Games Left, but Virginia Tech is One
Coming off Saturday’s 73-66 loss at Virginia, it was clear despite the seven-point margin that Syracuse and UVA are not in the same class of team. The Cavaliers are on a level that the Orange may never even reach this season, and that’s a group still getting better. Even better, SU’s schedule is only going…

It’s Time for SU Hoops to Make Necessary Lineup Changes
Almost a week has passed since Syracuse men’s basketball was in action. For better or worse, the Orange (8-5, 1-1 ACC) get time to rest before squaring up with Boston College on New Year’s Eve.

What Should Syracuse’s Starting Lineup Be?
Through Syracuse’s first 11 games of the season, Jim Boeheim has used the same starting lineup. That’s not uncommon, most years when Boeheim picks a lineup he tends to stick with it unless something drastic happens or there’s an injury. This season, it’s been Joe Girard III, Judah Mintz, Chris Bell, Benny Williams, and Jesse…

Fizz Report Card: Syracuse Bounces Back Against Northeastern
It was one they had to have, and they had it.
